Do You Have an Unhappy Marriage?
If so, learn how you can improve your unhappy marriage by building a better relationship with yourself.
Improving an unhappy marriage isn't as difficult as it seems. It's just a matter of discovering
what's making the relationship so unhappy. And many times the reason a relationship goes sour is
due to losing who we are in the process of loving another person.
I believe whole heartedly that your relationship will start improving once you start building a
better relationship with yourself first. And once you start on this, the connection with your spouse
will change for the better, of course!
The hard part of improving the relationship with yourself during a marriage is the amount of time
you will need to invest in yourself. Many people believe in order to improve a marriage one needs to
focus on their significant other. However, this is not always the case.
As a matter of fact, the more you focus on your significant other the more you will push them away!
Now don't get me wrong, improving an unhappy marriage doesn't mean your entire focus is just on
you and not on your spouse. There are two people in a relationship, so do not lose focus on that.
However, what I am getting at is once you start loving yourself unconditionally, you will begin
loving your significant other unconditionally as well.
And that's what I am going to teach you...
How to unconditionally love yourself and your partner in a marriage?
Many times individuals do not unconditionally love themselves before getting into a marriage.
And this, unfortunately, can be one of the major reasons for an unhappy marriage.

for detailed articles that focus on improving the relationship with yourself.
Okay, now let's talk about improving your marriage since you have discovered how to build your
self-confidence shall we...
Here are some common reasons for getting married when you don't unconditionally love yourself:
Haven't found the right person so you decide to settle for the person you are with.
Family pressures. "When are you going to get married?"
Boredom.
It's the next thing to do on your "list." You graduated from high school, went to college, got a good career, next comes a marriage
Loneliness.
Unfortunately, many of these common reasons create an unhappy marriage.
Why?
Because the individual did not follow their heart and stay true to themselves. Many believe that
finding the right person will make them "whole." However, the best marriages are those where you
already feel whole before getting married (which is why I have directed you toward improving the
relationship with yourself first!)
So, lets say that you made one of these above choices and you are now regretting your decision.
There are three options here... And these options are directed toward loving yourself and loving your
spouse unconditionally.
Make a choice to either stay in the marriage or leave the marriage.
Do not have one foot in the door and the other outside of the door. You have to make a decision
to either stay or leave to make a relationship work.
If you decide to stay, do everything you can to better yourself and better the relationship.
Once you have decided to make your relationship work, there's one thing to keep in mind...
"Make the relationship a priority." Once you believe in yourself and your worth, you will need the
same treatment from your partner and vice versa.
Although my husband and I have had our disagreements and hard times, we have a very strong marriage
because we make the relationship a priority, period!
The song "I Need You" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill is a great example of making a relationship a priority.
Although the song is titled "I need you," it's a healthy need, not a co-dependent need!
As a matter of fact, I think it's always a great idea to let one another know how much you mean to each other!
If you decide to leave, respect your significant other by communicating to him or her your
reasons for leaving.
If you are in an unhappy marriage, the decision is yours to change it. It's just a matter of choice
and action. And these two life skills are very important for self-love.
